Kiddocare Malaysia and Valiance Health were both featured in the GEAR-uP Progress Report 2026, which tracks how Malaysia's GLICs (KWSP, PNB, KWAP, Khazanah, Tabung Haji, LTAT) are channelling capital into the country's growth.

KiddoCare was highlighted for expanding access to affordable daily care services, from childcare to mental health support, as part of GLIC efforts to build out Malaysia's care economy.

Valiance Health was spotlighted for building Malaysia's first large-scale standardised healthcare data platform, backed by Khazanah's investment through Gobi Partners. As of June 2026, the platform has already delivered RM85,000 in annual cost savings at Avisena Healthcare, with five hospitals and administrators on board.

Proud to see our portfolio companies driving real change for Malaysia 🙌

Artem Ventures would like to congratulate ISRA Associates on their official launch.

The rebrand from ISRA Consulting to ISRA Associates marks more than a name change. It reflects how the team is translating academic knowledge from INCEIF University into practical, real-world regulatory solutions, including work on sovereign Islamic banking frameworks for central banks across the region.

This kind of work matters for Malaysia's position in the global Islamic finance ecosystem. Bank Negara Malaysia deputy governor Adnan Zaylani Mohamad Zahid noted that this expanded platform will help Malaysia share its Islamic finance expertise internationally and support more sustainable, inclusive financial ecosystems, a point that speaks to the depth of expertise coming out of this market and reaching well beyond it.

Glad to have been part of the launch. Looking forward to what's next for the team!

Access to capital can change the course of someone's life. But for many women in Malaysia, getting that opportunity has never been straightforward.

That's the gap Nuraizah Shamsul Baharin set out to solve through MADCash, Malaysia's first fintech platform built specifically for women micro-entrepreneurs.

Built on the Islamic finance principle of Qard Hasan, MADCash provides zero-interest microfinancing alongside entrepreneurship programmes, business training, and an online academy. Its mission is to help women build sustainable businesses and achieve financial independence.

Since launching in 2020, MADCash has grown from a RM3,000 pilot supporting three women into a platform that has disbursed over RM4 million, trained more than 1,500 women, and funded 1,500 micro-businesses across all 13 states in Malaysia.

Today, it has also expanded into Singapore and Tajikistan.

By combining access to financing with education and mentorship, MADCash is addressing a longstanding gap faced by women entrepreneurs who are often underserved by traditional financial institutions.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐲

Building MADCash wasn't easy. Because the platform offers zero-interest financing, many investors questioned whether the model could be financially sustainable.

However, that changed when Aizah won an award in Dubai, giving MADCash greater visibility and opening conversations with investors. Along the way, she refined the business model while staying true to its mission of serving underserved women entrepreneurs.

Those lessons helped MADCash secure funding without compromising the values it was built on.

Aizah's journey with Artem Ventures started with a conversation. After meeting Artem Ventures' Partner, Tunku Omar Asraf and sharing the vision behind MADCash, he found the company and its mission compelling.

Aizah later invited him to an event where MADCash was showcasing its work, giving him the opportunity to see firsthand how the company was creating impact. From there, the conversation continued, and the partnership began to take shape.

"This is what financial inclusion at scale looks like. MADCash provides zero interest microfunds to women entrepreneurs who are unbanked or underbanked, a segment that traditional financial institutions have long overlooked.

This addresses a real credit gap not just in Malaysia, but across the broader SEA region," says Tunku Omar Asraf, Partner, Artem Ventures.

The journey is far from over. As MADCash continues to grow, Aizah is currently raising funds to bring its model to more women entrepreneurs who need access to capital, support, and opportunities to grow sustainable businesses.
